Flaming Lips stream 24 hour song

Flaming Lips

The Flaming Lips are streaming their new 24 hour long song, ’7 Skies H3′, as we speak as a special Halloween treat.

As previously reported, the band released a six hour song in September, in which fans could have their names featured for $100 (and which you can listen to here). But this turned out to be a warm up for the main event, a 24 hour long song saved on a hard drive embedded inside a human skull. Or skulls, as several have been produced and priced at just $5000 each. Bargain.

Although the originally announced batch of five albums-in-a-skull sold out immediately, the band have now made more available, so if you fancy owning one (or you just want to listen to the song for free online), head over to this site.
